The Laid-back Life in Another World of the Ex-Hero Candidate Who Turned out to be a Cheat from Level 2-Chapter 93
CHAPTER 18: HOUTAU GIRLS COLLECTION
And Here it is, the Houtarou Girls Collection
Pack (01/03)
IMPORTANT
Recently the situation normalized in my University and because of that I have been a little busy with some issues. Because of that, I may not be able to publish anything soon (until January's second week at least). This does not mean that I will DEFINITELY not publish anything soon, it is just a maybe.
NT: Allright, you can consider this a kind of… late Christmas pack… I wanted to make it longer, but I didn’t have time (I have to make another slightly larger pack of the Spanish version before the new year…), but, well, i will try to publish two or three chapters next time too (and I will also upload the Illustrations from the Volumes 3 and 4 of the Light Novel), so it’s not that bad.
◆ ◇ CRYLORD CASTLE CITY • ONE DAY BEFORE THE EVENT ON THE RAPAPA THEATER ◇ ◆
「Umu, perfect nya」, said Uliminus with folded arms while watching the rehearsal that was taking place on stage.
Furio had already taken care of the clothes, so all that was left was for the models to arrive.
On the other hand, Elmens, along with her subordinates, had finished lifting some makeshift clothing stalls as they had discussed during the meetings they had during the last days.
That same day, some invitations for the event were also sent to the officials of the main clothing stores of the Castle City.
Uliminus smiled to herself thinking that she could finally form business relationships with those companies, with whom she hadn’t been able to relate before, if the fashion show was successful.
「Somehow, I feel like time has flown while we prepare this」, said Elmens, the owner of the Elmens Clothing Store, with a smile on her face as she helped Uliminus, who,
… If you were a better designer, we could have finished long ago nya.
somehow, manage to avoid letting out that rude comment.
◆ ◇
Jaren was circling with an anxious look behind the scenes as he checked the clothes the models would wear.
「What’s wrong? Do you feel restless?」
Brossam, who was helping carrying the packages, asked Jarren that.
「Ah, Brossam-san… Yes, you could say that…」
「You don’t have to worry so much. I think the clothes you designed will be a success」
「Re-Really!?」, said Jarren, with a much more lively expression than he had before, in response to Brossam’s words.
「Anyway, are you done? Tomorrow is the big day, so you have to go to rest 」, said Brossam while laughing.
「Ye-Yes! I’ll do that!」, said Jarren while nodding vigorously his head.
◆ ◇ CRYLORD CASTLE CITY • RAPAPA THEATER (EVENT DAY) ◇ ◆
Uliminus was stunned by the scene in front of her.
The place had quickly filled up with people at the moment when its doors opened,
「I think that all these humans should bow down at the Demon Army, or so I think」
At that time, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Devilish Cold Vampire, Juteimu, who suddenly appeared on stage, said that while making fun of the audience.
「I think it would be nice to get out of control in this place, or so I think」, said Juteimu as she waved her right hand.
In response to her signal, the Slimes behind Juteimu jumped in front of her.
「Al~right! Time to have fun~!」
「Umu, here we go」
「Goliath-sama~, we will be together forever~」
「I’ll make sure to unload all my frustration with you!」
Then they started running towards the crowd with their spirit in high.
Due to the sudden appearance of the Demons, the audience that filled the place began to panic, causing the theater to be flooded by their screams.
「What the hell do you think your are doing stupid brats nya!」
At that moment, Uliminus, who witnessed that situation, began to run furiously towards the stage.
Then
「I think I warned you last time, didn’t I? Members of the Demon Army.
I told you that, if for any reason, any of you dared to cause some kind of chaos, killing or looting, I would take care of you, isn’t it?」
Gozaru, who thanks to the fact that he was between the seats from the front row, managed to reach the stage before Uliminus, said that while destroying the Slimes while slowly climbing the stage while clenching his fists.
「To think that you would try to ruin one of the events organized by the humans again… You are the worst」, said Furio, who walked behind Gozaron, while looking at Juteimu with a furious gaze, very different from his usual calm gaze.
… They are the Fo-Fo-For-Former Demon King Goul-sama, and his friend Furio-sama … or so I think…
Last time, Juteimu had tried to ruin the New Life Festival, however, at that time, these two, and Slape, had forcibly stopped her, and that traumatic event that forced her to go through the resurrection had been etched in her head.
… Wh-Wh-Wh-What are they doing here? Or so I wonder. I had not heard anything about this…
Juteimu began to tremble as she paled.
Gozaru and Furio slowly approached Juteimu.
… No-No-No-No, if I don’t do anything, I will die, or I am sure of that
At that moment, having made her decision, Juteimu turned around and started running.
Then she began to accelerate more and more with the intention of leaving the stage.
「Don’t you think it’s too late to escape nya?」
At that moment, Uliminus, who had reverted to her Hell Cat form, jumped on her.
「No~~~~~~! Or so I think~~~~~」
At that moment, Juteimu lost consciousness.
◆ ◇
Thanks to the rapid reaction of Gozaru, Furio and Uliminus, the audience suffered no damage, and the fashion show could continue after a slight delay.
But
「Nya!? All the models escaped nya!?」 , said Uliminus as she paled the moment he heard that news.
Apparently, at the time when Juteimu, a member of the Demon Army, appeared, the models that were in the waiting room joined the frightened crowd and escaped danger along with the rest of the audience that managed to escape on time.
But now, the audience had already calmed down and there was not much time left before the event began.
… At-At this point, there is only one alternative
Uliminus, having made her decision, ran towards the audience.
◆ ◇
The event ended as a great success.
This was an event that was held for the first time in this world, and the audience was quite intrigued by what would happen in it.
However, when models dressed in clothing designed by Jarren began to appear on stage one after another, thei was favorably received by the public. On the other hand, the stalls that had been accommodated outside the theater before the event began to be filled by a large crowd when the show ended.
This was due to the excellent designs of Jarren, who, after that day, became a popular clothing designer.
By the way, the models that toured the stage that day were,
Lys, 「… While Danna-sama agrees with this…」
Barissa, 「… The-There’s no way that I, the Second Wife, can refuse when the First Wife asks me that way…」 (Blushing)
Brossam , 「Okay… But I already told you that I don’t like using this kind of thing…」
Bireri,「A-… Awawaawa !? Risley~… Slape-sama~a…
Berano, 「… (Blushing)」
Hiya, 「*Fumu*… These kinds of things are also necessary for my training…」
Damarinase, 「Fine, in this way everyone will realize how beautiful I am」
Silver Horn Fox,「… If Hiya Onee-sama does it, then I will do it too Kokon」
Mahorion,「*Fumu*. So there was also this kind of practice… I still have a lot to learn」
All members of Furio’s Family that were among the audience as special guests.
Needless to say that, Furio’s Family, in exchange for agreeing to participate as models, agreed with Uliminus that she would have to take care of the kitchen and laundry work and also clean the bathrooms instead of the rest of the family throughout one month.
「The-The event was a success nya! But it wasn’t cheap nya… 」(watery eyes)
◇◇ IN THE ROOM OF A CERTAIN BUILDING THAT WAS IN A CERTAIN ALLEY OF THE CASTLE CITY ◇◇
「… Tsk . So we cannot use the Demon Army either」
After being informed that the Demon Army’s attack on the Event had failed and that the event managed to end without problems, the Dark King kicked the table while clicking his tongue.
「… What will we do now, Dark King-sama?」
「… The losses we suffer with the matter of clothing have been quite large this time… The best thing is that we hide for a while」, said the Dark King as he rose from his chair, then, the next instant, disappeared.
Thereafter.
The stack of papers related to the movements of a certain unscrupulous business that tormented Princess Queen began to diminish.
◇◇ IN AN ALLEY OF CASTLE CITY ◇◇
「Golden Hair Braveman! I will return what you did to me multiplied by 100! 」
The Tengu Ebisu had slipped away from the assault team before they launched their attack, and was about to return to the Demon King’s Castle,
However, suddenly, he came across his nemesis, against which he had faced during the Battle Royal of the Promotion Competition of the New Four Heavenly Kings, and immediately afterwards began to attack him from the sky.
「Hey! Instead of talking so much up there come face me down here!」
「What are you talking about!? If I did that, they would end up falling prey to one of your traps!」
「Damn! So you remember it!」
The Blond Hero escaped out of the city while desperately trying to defend himself against Ebisu’s attacks.
NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments.
